A peacock quilt for Rhonda

Last week my darling husband called me from work to ask if I could make a quilt for his managers, it seems that she doesn't have any heat in her office. I said I would and set out to make this quilt. I played with the layout on EQ7 until I found something I liked and then got to work, it took me just one day to put together. 

 

I had a lot of fun making the quilt, and deciding how I was going to quilt it. I needed something fast and easy, yet elegant to match the beautiful peacock on the panel. 

 So, I decided to do a simple swirl type fill with tiny peacock feathers in the black, stitched with black thread so not to detract from the print.

 Then in the pinwheel blocks I had a feather party! Each half square triangle got a peacock feather!

I needed to make this a super warm quilt (due to the lack of heat) so I opted for Minkee on the back with Warm and Natural as the batting. I love how the quilting shows on the back of the quilt.

Stuart took the quilt to work today and by all reports she loves the quilt!

Now I think I will make another one, for me! And I am going to add some hot fix crystals to mine!

Latest quilts, I love being busy!

Have been super busy working on some customer quilts, Thought I would share some pictures with you!

Several examples of free motion.

 Some free motion work, snowflakes and swirls.

 Mariposa pantograph, very popular!

Completely free motion, Medium custom. Each Kimono was outlined, micro stippled around the Kimono, and a ribbon candy in the sashing.

 A donation quilt. Echo quilting around the white doily, and stacked flowers in the white blocks.

Japanese fans, quilted with a simple water meander. It made for a very striking effect on this quilt. You would not have thought of it as budget quilting when done!

 Baseball! Done for an male baseball fan, I quilted this one with simple loops and stars and baseballs. This would be considered light custom. Contact me for more detailed photos if interested in this design.

 

 Medium custom birthday quilt.

 Simple large meander. This is the lowest cost quilting I offer.

Mariposa Panto

 This was a super duper custom job for a friend, The quilt belongs to her 12 year old daughter, I got to do something different in each block! Had so much fun with this quilt.
